Sixteen talented teenagers bring their extreme energy and ambition to the "Chopped" kitchen, with "Chopped Teen Tournament," premiering Tuesday, July 15, at 10 p.m. on Food Network. In this special, five-part stunt, 16 culinary whiz kids are aiming for perfect appetizers, entrées and desserts, as they navigate through three rounds.

In the end, only one will be named the first-ever "Teen Chopped" grand champion.
